Pretend

Pretend

quite a while we belonged together

our love was strong

I never had much money but

still we had our little home

BABY

what you pretend

is that all the time we had

was like inside prison walls

lonely and hungry and hurting

you were afraid of me being a rockstar

so I was a waiter barkeeper and painter

steelworker was freezing and sweating outside

I did what I could but it was never right

believe me girl you were the only one

to make me feel so wrong

BABY

what you pretend

is that all the time we had

was like inside prison walls

lonely and hungry and hurting

you want me to leave

cause I am your misery

the reason for all your pain

don't you forget I was trying to be

like you wanted me to

just like you wanted me to be

what you pretend

is that all the time we had

was like inside prison walls

lonely and hungry and hurting

you want me to leave

cause I am your misery

the reason for all your pain

don't you forget I was trying to be

like you wanted me

It's a part of the story

'bout boyfriends and girlfriends

and their ways of making love end

don't ask me I don't understand

I will never understand
